The correct answer is A.

A regressive tax is applied uniformly to all taxpayers. Therefore, every person pays exactly the same, but such payment means a higher burden for those taxpayers with a lower income. If you earn 100, paying 1 as tax doesn't mind a lot to you, but if you earned 10 it would mind much more.

The most important regressive tax is the value added tax (VAT), in which a certain percentage of the price paid for a product is charged on top as a tax. If you buy rice, the percentage charged as VAT is the same for all consumers, but that amount of money would mean more to a humble shop owner than to the US president, for example.

Between 1096 and 1291, Muslims and Christian fought each other to control what they considered to be sacred sites in the Middle East. By 1096, Muslim troops had captured Constantinople and the pope had to intervened to call all western European nations to unite against Muslims and recover the sacred sites.
